This article will assist you in creating and configuring the University of Minnesota (UMN)'s L2TP Native VPN for Windows 10. Add UMN L2TP Native VPN. Navigate to Network & Internet. Start > Settings > Network & Internet; Select VPN in the left hand menu. Click Add a VPN connection.
This route will depend on the Gateway IP / Subnet that you specify for the L2TP VPN in the UniFi controller settings. The following classful routes will be added based on the subnet used for the L2TP VPN: 10.0.0.0/8 L2TP VPN subnet is configured with a 10.x.x.x address, for example 10.10.1.1/24. When connecting to the VPN, the authentication and encryption settings of VPN clients must be identical to the settings specified on VPN Server, or else clients will not be able to connect successfully. To be compatible with most L2TP/IPSec clients running Windows, Mac OS, iOS, and Android operating systems, the default MTU is set to 1400. In computer networking, Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) is a tunneling protocol used to support virtual private networks (VPNs) or as part of the delivery of services by ISPs. It does not provide any encryption or confidentiality by itself. Click Yes to save Console1 settings. The default name is fine, click Save again. To configure the L2TP/IPsec connection: Click on the Start menu. Click on Settings. Click Network & Internet from the Settings menu. Select VPN from the left side of the window. Click Add a VPN connection. Fill out the settings listed in the box below. Other server settings may also be preventing a successful L2TP connection. If they are, send the PPP log to your administrator. NAT Traversal With the IPSec NAT-T support in the Microsoft L2TP/IPSec VPN client, IPSec sessions can go through a NAT when the VPN server also supports IPSec NAT-T. IPSec NAT-T is supported by Windows Server 2003.
The meanings of each option are followings: L2TP Server Function (L2TP over IPsec) This function is for accepting VPN connections from iPhone, iPad, Android, and other smartphones, and built-in L2TP/IPsec VPN Client on Windows or Mac OS X. Enable it if you want to support one of these devices as VPN Client.
RADIUS settings - if needed, use them, otherwise leave them alone. Save. Flip to the Users tab and add L2TP user accounts and passwords there. Now go to Firewall > Rules on the L2TP VPN tab, and add a firewall rule to pass traffic, e.g from any to any or much more restrictive if preferred. 3. Configure the server authentication settings, in this example we are using local authentication. set vpn l2tp remote-access ipsec-settings authentication mode pre-shared-secret set vpn l2tp remote-access ipsec-settings authentication pre-shared-secret
L2TP (Layer Two Tunneling Protocol) is a tunneling protocol that realizes VPN (Virtual Private Network) connection between networks. Although L2TP itself does not have a mechanism of encryption, there is L2TP / IPsec that realizes VPN connection securing data confidentiality and integrity by using IPsec concurrently.
On the L2TP Users tab you need to set an IP Pool, this is the available addresses that L2TP Users can draw from when connecting. You may also set User Group for the L2TP clients. CAUTION: Setting to small of an IP Pool will result in IP Exhaustion, make sure to use a suitably large pool of addresses.
